Rapper Lil Durk released from hospital after weeklong stay for ‘severe dehydration and exhaustion’

Rapper Lil Durk spent the past week in a hospital, where he was treated for severe dehydration and exhaustion, according to TMZ.

The outlet said the Chicago-born rapper was hospitalized after becoming ill in Ohio on July 6. The setback caused the 30-year-old performer to miss several show dates in Europe, as well as Wednesday’s ESPY Awards in Los Angeles.

Lil Durk, aka Durk Derrick Banks, was reportedly released Wednesday, but has yet to be cleared by doctors to return to performing. He told TMZ, “Once I get my full energy back, it’s back to business which I’m looking forward to.”
